I agree with this!!!

I did a video on different discharge methods, but to save you an hour and a half of your time, just use heat. There is no performance gain using a discharger to heat your batteries vs using a warming blanket/heated lipo sleeve. Some tracks don't allow external heating but don't blink an eye with racers discharging and charging at 40A+. That is an entriely different conversation though.
My recommendation, pick up an iCharger and then build/buy a discharge bank. You still want to store your batteries and cycle them every once in awhile when not in use, so a discharge bank is a good idea to have, but you can get away with the internal loads for iCharger if you don't care to wait.
